WORLD’S FIRST EATING DISORDERS STUDENT CONFERENCE
On Wednesday 16th October 2024, we will be hosting ed/md 2024.
This is the world's first eating disorders conference for medical students. It is aimed at helping bridge the gap in knowledge that most medical students have when it relates to disordered eating and eating disorders.
Last year was a roaring success, supported by world-leading clinicians and also well-known faces. Excitingly, it will be available to a global audience this year, because it will be held both in-person and virtually.
It will be held at the The Bridge, a charity (whose home is in a beautiful space in the heart of London) that supports women to improve both their physical and mental wellbeing.
